Original

Rating: Null/10 (14 July 2003)

There seems to be a growing consensus that moviegoers are, on the whole, quite rude. Cell phones, pagers, talking and the ever growing issue of babies at 1030p showings of horror films. However, this isn't a posting regarding the people in the theater, but rather the film on the screen.
28 days later hit the nail on the head by being a cinematography masterpiece, ala Kubrick. The fast cuts and low-digital resolution speak to the nature of what is happening in the film. It is not supposed to be clear and concise and neat, the world is ending!
It does not live up to the "scary as hell" hype. However, it is successful and doing what it set out to do. Deliver a commentary on the fall of human nature and although it manages to get a little preachy, the direction coupled w/ the acting ability made it envigorating.
I suggest this movie to someone who is looking for something original. It isn't a sequel, it isn't a major Hollywood blockbuster and you aren't going to find Jim Carrey, Vin Diesel or Keanu Reeves in it. Finally, something different!
Overall: A Acting: A+ Directing: B+ Story: A
